Miyamoto Shinya
I was just wondering what happened to Shinya Miyamoto of Yakult Swallows. Seems like he has been dropped to the farm team. He's batting a solid .290, and he doesn't seem to be injured. Can anybody shed any light on this?

It seemed as though an epidemic of injuries hit both Yakult and the Giants a month ago. The starting line-ups for both teams look nothing like the did on opening day.
Amazingly, though, the substitues who have come up to fill in have done a tremendous job for both teams. It isn't every team that can lose 4 or 5 of its starting every day players and remain as competitive as these two teams have.
I'm afraid that I don't really keep track of who's injured very well, so I can't tell you exactly what's ailing him. But I'm fairly sure that it's an injury.
On a related note, the Giants' Takahashi Yoshinobu has gotten the doctor's OK to play in the Eastern League (farm club) starting yesterday (Sept. 13). Flipping through the TV channels this afternoon, I saw him on the bench for the Giant's 2-gun game. I was on my way to the BayStars' game, so I don't know if he was in the game or not.

Miyamoto is out with an injury.
